1979 | Ford Capri 3,0

Ford Capri 3.0S – The British GT with V6 Sound and Mediterranean Soul

There are coupés that pretend to be sporty – and then there’s the Ford Capri 3.0S.
A car that looks like a muscleman in a tailored suit and drives like a gentleman wearing boxing gloves. Born from Europe’s longing for a Mustang – but sized for Parisian parking spaces.

This 1979 example hails from an era when flared trousers, moustaches and vinyl roofs needed no irony. And the way this car stands today, you half expect Barry White to climb out of the boot.

Technology – The Essex Makes the Difference
Under the bonnet beats the legendary 3.0-litre Essex V6 – an engine that sounds like it smokes whisky. Smooth power delivery, effortless torque, and a soundtrack that makes you grin every time you hit a tunnel.

The power is sent to the rear wheels through a retrofitted automatic gearbox, personally installed by a Ford expert. The shifts? Smoother than a sunset Martini.
Power steering and a mighty air-conditioning system – more aircraft tech than car accessory – add comfort and ease.

New dampers, a twin exhaust, modern tyres and LED cockpit lighting show: this Capri doesn’t want to stand still – it wants to be driven.

Condition – Aged Like a Fine Greek Wine
The body presents remarkably fresh, no doubt thanks to two decades of garage life – like an oldtimer on a spa retreat.
The vinyl roof? Perfect. The paint? Minimal signs of age. The interior? A stylish time capsule with neat fabrics, black carpets and just a touch of patina – like a fine suit with vintage flair.

Personal Touch – Maintained with Passion
The current owner isn’t a casual enthusiast – he’s a true Ford connoisseur. Every detail reveals decades of care and technical knowledge. No cheap tinkering, just well-thought-out improvements and preservation.

Rarity – Left-Hand Drive and FIA Certified
While a few Capri 3.0S still roam the UK, left-hand drive examples in this condition are virtually extinct. This isn’t just a fine car – it’s a rare survivor.

✅ Greek registration with historic status
✅ FIA certificate
✅ Valid technical inspection
✅ Copy of original German papers included

Conclusion – Not Just a Car, an Experience
Driving this Capri isn’t about distance – it’s about history.
A car that stands out without shouting.
Fast without fuss.
A classic grand tourer that blends British muscle with Mediterranean ease.
